Farmer Henry

My husband, son and I live in a little estate in a small village in Co. Cork.  Our house backs on to a farmer's field, and if my son Henry stands in his crib and looks out the window, he sometimes will catch the farmer tending the crop in his tractor.  This has triggered a tractor *obession* with Henry, the first word out of his mouth when he wakes is tractor (quite literally).

"What's that?  A tactow!  What's that?  Wheew?  What's that?  TACTOW!!!"

Yesterday I went to collect my car from my mechanic, who is also a farmer (Ireland for you), and he let Henry 'drive' one of his tractors!  Well, we've now created a Tractor Bore.  We will never hear the end of it.

"Where is the tactow?  Where did it dow?"

Deep, deep joy.

  3. My grandson is a collector of all John Deere Tractors stuff. And even got me to do a cross stitch for him. I have recently made him a file cover with John Deere tractors fabric.
